Stalking is not only bad morally but is also a criminal offence and in many cases described as harassment. There are many different methods of stalking and each with different motives. In today's society stalking is also becoming a easier crime due to social networking sites, transport etc.
Stalking is an invasion of someone else's privacy, stalking is usually connected to celebrities in which random strangers are described as becoming obsessed with them. Personally, I believe a negative invasion on anybody's home or personal space which is not wanted, is bad. I think that stalking can also be easier due to the methods of communication people can have over the world. I do not believe that there is ever a 'reason' to stalk someone or to justify that sort of behavior. There are so many methods of stalking that some people may not realise that they are stalking or even being stalked! Sending unwanted gifts, telephone calls, emails, letters can in cases be considered as a method of stalking..
All these types of methods made me question.. is watching big brother stalking behaviour?! Im not a fan of the programme myself, but for those that watch it all the time...would that account for some sort of stalking behaviour?
